Economic relations between India and the United States comprise of bilateral trade in goods and services and investments across several industry sectors.

It also initiated and subsequently assisted ICRIER in publishing a report outlining the impact of US investments in India. The committee also meets key policy makers to discuss macro-economic issues influencing economic fundamentals and improving the business climate in India.
